Opportunities for Parliamentarians
Few outside Parliament fully appreciate the demands and busy schedule of a Member of the House of Commons or the House of Lords. Christian Embassy’s team value your time and we endeavour to offer meaningful and helpful services.
Courtesy Visits
We would like to schedule a courtesy call to introduce ourselves and present the services and practical resources that Christian Embassy offer.
Private Consultations
You may want to speak privately and confidentially with a member of our team to explore the teaching and values of Jesus, whether you are a Christian or not. Personal coaching is also available.
Roundtables
Roundtables are organized by Christian Embassy to facilitate the interactions of six to eight diplomats with one or more senior members of Parliament. The roundtables give you as an MP or Peer the opportunity to discuss your perspective on specific areas of mutual interest for mutual benefit, and to describe the relevance and implications of your faith to your professional and personal life.
Networking with Ambassadors
When we become aware of special initiatives that you are pursuing and wish to promote, we connect you with Ambassadors or High Commissioners who share similar interests.
Cultural Events
We partner with Christians in Government for their annual Whitehall Carol Service in Westminster Abbey and their Easter service in St Margaret’s Church, the church of Parliament. Heads of Missions, government ministers and civil servants are in attendance and contribute to these celebrations that are deeply rooted in the Christian history and culture of the United Kingdom.
Constituency Events
Christian Embassy will help you to organise a community breakfast or lunch with two or three Ambassadors or High Commissioners presenting economic opportunities and answering questions about their country.
International Delegations
In collaboration with the local Ambassador or High Commissioner, Christian Embassy organise international delegations comprising government and business leaders. The purpose of our delegations is to discover the priorities and concerns of the leaders you will meet and to build bridges of understanding. They also seek to discuss areas of mutual concern and to explore the possibility of future cooperation. Participation in a delegation can help you to increase your understanding of international affairs and develop a valuable network with leaders across the world.
Annual International Women’s Day Celebration
On the occasion of International Women’s Day every March, Christian Embassy organises a festive and formal women-only luncheon with inspirational music and a motivational message to celebrate the dignity and value that are inherently yours as a woman. By invitation only.
National Parliamentary Prayer Breakfast
In June, we partner with Christians in Parliament for their annual Prayer Breakfast in the House of Commons. Over 600 guests, including Ambassadors, High Commissioners, MPs, Peers and national leaders gather to hear a Biblical perspective on current events and to hear prayers for the national leadership. Immediately following, Heads of Missions of all religions and none are invited to a private seminar to network and interact with MPs, Peers, and other leaders in the public and private sector. By invitation only.
Prom Praise
The Royal Albert Hall provides the perfect location for our annual outing to a truly unique spring concert. In the style of the world-famous “Last Night of the Proms,” the entire hall can join the choir and orchestra for a unique blend in classical and contemporary music.
